Comparison between liver resection and liver transplantation on outcomes in patients with solitary hepatocellular carcinoma meeting UNOS criteria: a population-based study of the SEER database

Abstract: Liver resection (LR) and liver transplantation (LT) are potential curative treatment methods for early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it is controversial which treatment is more beneficial to patients with solitary HCC meeting the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) criteria (single lesion, diameter≤50mm, no vascular invasion, no extrahepatic metastasis). We retrieved patients with solitary HCC meeting UNOS criteria diagnosed between 2004-2013 from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (S… Show more

“…Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most commonly occurring cancers and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths from malignancy worldwide.1 Despite advances in surgery and chemotherapy, HCC is associated with a poor 5-year survival rate due to its uncontrolled invasion and metastasis under the presently available treatments, including surgery and chemotherapy. Recurrence and metastasis are the major obstacles to improve survival for HCC patients.2 Thus, there is a critical need for improving HCC therapies, which can be developed from the identification of new and effective chemotherapeutic agents and a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved.…”

“…A total of 18,095 patients with tumours within the Milan criteria were included in our analysis, with 8,204 and 9,891 patients undergoing LT and LR respectively. The majority of articles were retrospective studies (n=34), except for 1 prospective study; 11 articles provided survival data for uninodular HCC (26,(30)(31)(32)34,43,45,46,53,56,60); 2 0 a r t i c l e s h a d a s t u d y e n d -d a t e b e f o r e 2 0 1 0 (33,(35)(36)(37)40,42,43,45,47,(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(60)(61)(62). Additionally, 14 studies used enhanced surveillance strategies for HCC surveillance after surgery (26,28,30,(33)(34)(35)40,43,44,(56)(57)(58)61,62).…”

“…Vervielfältigung nur mit Zustimmung des Verlages. Die Lebertransplantation für Patienten mit einem auf die Leber begrenzten Tumor ist langfristig mit den geringsten Rezidivraten und dem besten Gesamtüberleben (> 5 Jahre) verbunden [125,126]. Durch Fortschritte in der chirurgischen, interventionellen und medikamentösen Therapie können heute bei resektablen Befunden immer bessere Überlebensraten erreicht werden, allerdings finden sich bei allen anderen Therapieformen auch in frühen Tumorstadien (▶ Tab.…”
